Berberine suppressed pro-inflammatory genes expression in LPS-stimulated IPEC-J2. Changes in gene expressions of (a) IL-1β, (b) IL-6 and (c) TNF-α. Cells were pre-treated with berberine for 4 h before incubation with 5 μg/ml LPS for 1 h. *P < 0.05); **P < 0.01, both compared to the control. #P < 0.05; ##P < 0.01, both compared to the model.
